Vehicle Sharing Suite

Manage, share and keep track of the status of your vehicle's availability, parking and whereabouts.


Description

A collection of five tools intended for people that share a vehicle with other family members or friends. It uses a shared Apple calendar to manage and keep track of the status of your vehicle's availability, parking and whereabouts. It makes it a breeze to coordinate the use of the vehicle with others, avoid parking tickets, and find where the vehicle is currently parked.

"Book the Car"

Makes reservations for your vehicle, while checking for booking conflicts.

"I’m Taking the Car"

Creates an event stating that you currently have the vehicle, along with your destination and how long you’ll have it. If you have a reservation, it will fill out most of the details for you and replace the reservation.

"I Parked the Car"

Logs where you parked the vehicle, along with when the spot is good until. You’ll get an alert to remind you to move the vehicle. This will trim any active event for whomever currently has the vehicle.

"Car Status"

Provides a quick status report of the vehicle's current availability, parking and whereabouts.

"Where’s the Car"

Pulls up quick walking directions to the vehicle’s current location - if parked.
